If you will be away on polling day, at work or on holiday, are physically unable or just don't have the time to get to a polling station to vote in person, you can still exercise your democratic right to vote. You may have moved house since the electoral register was drawn up and have not yet joined the register at your new address.

You can choose either to vote by post or to appoint someone else - a proxy - to vote on your behalf.

To find out more about voting by post or proxy, or to register to vote visit the Borough Council website:

Simply print the relevant form out from these webpages, complete the details and send it to the Electoral Registration Officer at West Lancashire Borough Council, Council Offices, 52 Derby Street Ormskirk L39 2DF
